Pan Those Eyeshadows Project Pan - October 2019 update

This project is part of my effort to get visible progress out of my makeup. I randomly selected five shadows to start, and as soon as I reach my goal (usually hitting pan), I can rotate in a different randomly-selected shadow. Here's how I did over the past month:

1&2) "Sin" and "Naked" from Urban Decay Naked palette - I finally hit pan on "Naked" after about six months of using it every time I did my makeup. It's a small pan, but it counts. I'm still making slow progress on "Sin" since I use it only as an inner corner highlight. It's too light to be used as a lid shade, so I'm just really sparkly at my inner corners. I think this will be in the project for a few more months at least.


3) "Chauffeur" from Colourpop Yes Please palette - I decluttered this palette entirely, so I didn't take a picture. Wave goodbye.

4) "Rose Quartz" from Anastasia Beverly Hills Sultry palette - You can tell from the picture that there's a decent dip in it. I've been applying it with my fingers (I know, who am I?) since there's better color payoff that way. I would like to have pan on this by the next update.


5) "Light My World" single by Sydney Grace - I really enjoyed using this shadow. It looks gold in the pan, but shows up on the eye with more of a green shift and I love green-gold looks (well, all the time but especially) during Fall. I initially thought I would only keep this one in for a month, but I'd like to keep using it so I'll add it to the project officially.


Since I hit pan on one shade and decluttered another, I'm rolling in two more shadows for the upcoming month.

~ "Wildlife" a single by Sydney Grace - It's pictured above next to "Light My World." Since it, too, is one of the newer products in my collection, I'm only going to add it until the next update so I can get some use out of it without spending too much time on it (unless I want to).

~ "Dione" a single by NARS - I bought this at Marshall's after this line was discontinued. As you can see, it has not been used that much. I just have a hard time reaching for single shadows.


Here's the color group I'll be working with for the next month:
(L-R) Sin, Rose Quartz, Light My World, Wildlife, Dione



Goal recap:
~ hit pan on "Rose Quartz"
~ make visible dent in "Dione"
~ use "Wildlife" enough to make it look used

Fire & Ice Project Pan [Update #1]

 The youtubers are uploading their updates, so here I am, tagging along for update #1! I think I had a pretty successful first month. I also used mostly deluxe sized samples, but eh, I'll take the morale boost. ~ Fire item: Firecracker from the Tartelette in Bloom palette. My goal for the first update was to wear down some of the lettering on it, and I made a decent-looking dent in the first few letters! I'm more of a stab my brush in one place until I see the pan kind of person rather than an even use kind of person, so I probably won't wear down the other letters. I've been wearing this as my lid shade for most of the days I wear makeup, so my next goal is to continue doing that. I suspect I might start to get sick of it, so hopefully I'll be able to keep going with it. ~ Ice item: Tarte smooth operator loose setting powder (deluxe sample size). My goal for this update was to be able to make another line to mark my progress. Unfortunately, the way I get the pro...

December 2018 Empties

Y'all. This month looks pitiful compared to past months. I suspect it's because I've mainly been using full-sized skincare so I'm not blazing through as much as I have been. ~ It cosmetics secret sauce moisturizer sample - was a little too much for my oily skin. would not repurchase. ~ Mario Badescu herbal rehydrating serum sample set - this was a gel moisturizer, so it's no surprise that I liked this one. Might try it again in the future, but I have a lot of moisturizer to go through first. ~ 2 Sephora samples of Commodity Gold perfume - this is a warm, sweet scent that I really enjoy and I currently have a travel-size spray. ~ Living Proof perfect hair day shampoo - if you remember when I finished the conditioner, you'll recall that I hated this pair of shampoo and conditioner and I used it up as a shaving cream. Would not repurchase. ~ Estee Lauder sumptuous infinite mascara - this has a plastic bristle brush, which I normally don't like, but...

December Empties

I finished 7 products in December, including 1 makeup product instead of all skincare! ~ Clinique take the day off cleansing balm sephora sample: It was odorless, and just oily enough to efficiently remove my eye makeup and mascara. Bonus, it didn't irritate my eyes. I got the full size for Christmas, but I'm going to try to make some progress on my Pond's cream before I crack into it. ~ Peter Thomas Roth pumpkin enzyme mask sample: I got the pack of deluxe sizes to try, and this mask took so long to finish, I'd never buy a full size. It smelled just like a pumpkin treat, so I enjoyed using it up in the fall/winter. ~ Too Cool for School egg mellow cream lotion: I used this as my morning moisturizer. It had a faintly sweet-lemon scent, which I enjoyed. The pump was nice, but I didn't know how much I had left until I went to pump it and it was empty :( ~ Clinique Welcome Wednesday deluxe lipstick from Christmas 2015: finally! I loved the brown-pink color, bu...
